No hugs and no sleep

Alice’s teddy is more than her only possession in the world. It’s the only thing that’s ever hugged her.

As her father dislikes children, he hates sleeping next to her. In the morning, he’s always the first to wake, and he immediately throws a tantrum and wakes up Alice to tell her to leave the room. Alice understandably responds that they’re not in a room, and she doesn’t have anywhere to go. Then they argue, and Kev seems to blame Alice for every possible thing.

As her attempts to nap on the bench at ‘home’ are always interrupted, Alice does her best to skip the bus after school and find somewhere else to sleep. At first, this used to be the bench in the school playground.

Then one day she found the Joy household next door to the school, who invited her in. She immediately climbed into their bed for the best sleep she’s ever had. Her hosts weren’t terribly pleased as she stank by this point, but didn’t try to wake her. I can only assume they took pity on her.

Seriously how is this fun. What has Sims 4 got genocide and watching african kids die.. if you want real life sadness go outside and do something about it, not pretend to care about some homeless characters…

Wow! This is one of the best Sims stories I have ever read. This is such a touching story of these characters. I can’t wait to read the whole thing. Great Job with the story and coming up with this Sims experiment.

Good Story. I am a social worker that has seen many real stories like this one. I think this is a unique way of raising an important issue in real life. I see it has a novel art form for expression. Looking forward to the next post.

This is kind of sad and sweet – how much of what’s going on do you have control over? I’ve played the first incarnation of the Sims, but nothing after, so I’m afraid I don’t know how much the gameplay has changed.

Her sleeping at school instead of going home shows real detail by the game’s creator. I can hardly believe how realistic they made the characters’ emotions and actions as result. Makes me wish I had a console capable of handling the game…

cool idea but did you have to break it up into so many posts?? Most people can handle loading a long page and breaking it up encorages people to not finish it. I know you get more hits and therefore add revenue from breaking it up but somehow its more important that i view your awesome free content in a slightly more convient manner than it is for you to pay rent. Hmmm well go ahead and ignore most of this message! Neat story!
